Turbulent Times Chapter 1558: Combination meter

Just when Wang Junlin was about to face the enemy and was about to deal with it, the magical little black key stopped vibrating.

"Does this mean that the No. 1 Assassin King has left again?" Wang Junlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief thoughtfully, but the vigilance in his heart remained the same.

"Send down the order, increase the vigilance, and send more outposts and outposts..." Before Wang Junlin finished speaking, he remembered not to mention ordinary soldiers. Wang said there was not much difference.

He stepped up his vigilance, but the No. 1 Killer King might notice that he already knew the opponent's arrival, thus exposing the existence of the small black key.

"Forget it, let's continue as usual!" Wang Junlin withdrew his order again.

"My lord, what happened?" Shen Guoer couldn't help asking.

Wang Junlin looked a little dignified, and said: "The No. 1 Killer King has appeared."

Shen Guoer, Chong Yao, and Spring and Autumn Guzhu heard the words, and their expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Just at this moment, the little black key stopped vibrating, and Wang Junlin knew that the No. 1 Killer King had left again.

"Are you retreating in the face of difficulties?" Wang Junlin looked at the direction of Shuozhou City thoughtfully, "Perhaps he came to see if he could kill me. May act as a scout for Li Shentong."

But Wang Junlin knew that the No. 1 Assassin King was different from the Spring and Autumn Messenger. He had no airs of being a master or a mysterious existence, nor did he have any dignity or shame.

King of No. 1 Killer is a real killing machine.

If you can kill yourself, not to mention acting as a scout, even if you are acting as a beggar, the No. 1 killer king will not hesitate.

"Before, I dared not attack Li Shentong who was intimidated by tens of thousands of people. I hid in Shuozhou City and waited for us to attack. Li Shentong couldn't get close to the big camp within two miles, and Li Shentong didn't know the reality of our big camp, and worried that he would be forced to fight with us when we left the city."

"Now that the No. 1 Assassin King has come out in person, he must have figured out that I am playing an empty city strategy here. Maybe it won't be long before the entire Shuozhou City's tens of thousands of troops will attack us."

"Of course, it is also possible to send a large army to detour to Luliang County and Xinkou County."

"However, since I am here in person, Li Shentong will definitely not let go of the chance to kill me. Even if this possibility is not great, but after all, they have ten times our strength, so they will probably use all their strength to fight Siege here."

When Wang Junlin came to this conclusion, he was not worried at all, and he did not order an immediate retreat. Instead, he had a smile on his face, which was extremely unpredictable.

In fact, when he discovered that Li Shentong had been hiding in the city of Shuozhou and forced them to attack the city, Wang Junlin had already decided to use himself as a bait to lure out the army led by Li Shentong, instead seducing the other party. to attack their plans.

Because, Wang Junlin knew that if he wanted to attack Taiyuan Mansion, he had to kill Li Shentong's 100,000 elite soldiers, otherwise it would be a big hidden danger after all.

However, Li Shentong's troops were too prudent, he stayed in the city and waited for the Far Eastern Army to attack the city.

Faced with this situation, Wang Junlin quickly changed his tactics.

And if you want Li Shentong, who is prudent in using troops, to go out of the city to besiege your own side, you must at least create a situation where the opponent's strength is ten times that of your own.

That's why Wang Junlin left only 10,000 troops outside Shuozhou City.

In fact, even if the No. 1 Assassin King doesn't come to inquire about the truth, Wang Junlin will order Shen Guoer to weaken the interception of the military intelligence government's expert spies in a few days, so that Li Shentong's spies can approach the camp and inquire about this place. The reality of the edge.

If it was just the No. 1 Assassin King's inquiry, perhaps Li Shentong was still a little worried, but the two counties of Luliang County and Xinkou County were occupied by the Far Eastern Army, although they still don't know that the Far Eastern Army dispatched them in the two counties. There are many people and horses, but there will definitely be no fewer.

When the two aspects are combined, Li Shentong will believe that there are only 10,000 people on Wang Junlin's side.

Of course, the main reason is that Wang Junlin's bait is really delicious.

It can be called the most fragrant bait in the world.

Even if Li Shentong had a faint feeling that this might be a trap, he couldn't resist the temptation of Wang Junlin as a bait, and tried his best to beat Wang Junlin.

There is no way, as long as Wang Junlin is killed, the Far Eastern Army will be self-defeating, because everyone knows that Wang Junlin is the soul and heart of the Far Eastern Army, without Wang Junlin, the Far Eastern Army will immediately fall apart, and According to Li Shimin and Li Yuan's preliminary preparations, especially with the existence of Li Xuanba, they thought that after Wang Junlin's death, many Far Eastern troops would inevitably join their Li family.

So, after No. 1 Killer King returned to Shuozhou City without knowing it, and sneaked into Li Shentong's room, and told the truth about Wang Junlin's camp, Li Shentong only hesitated for more than half an hour. , then download

Let the whole army go out of the city and attack the camp where Wang Junlin is.

As for Wang Junlin, since he wanted to use himself as a bait, the purpose was to disable Li Shentong's 100,000 elite soldiers, and there were only more than 10,000 of them, how could he be unprepared.

……

……

Coal is burned in the iron stove, and there is a special chimney made of iron, so you don't worry about gas poisoning. So although the inside of the tent is not as warm as a spring day, it does not feel the slightest chill.

Wang Junlin was sitting by the stove, and the 16,000 officers above the captain of the army who stayed beside him, except for a few people who were on duty or had missions, were all in this commanding tent.

"How's the defense preparation outside the camp?" Wang Junlin asked first.

"Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready, just wait for Li Shentong to lead an army to attack."

"The stables must be kept warm." Wang Junlin turned to another captain and asked.

"My lord, the stables are set up in a place sheltered from the wind, and there is a stove in them, and hay is prepared, so there will be no frostbitten horses."

"Is there enough charcoal and firewood in your army?"

"My lord, the carbon is enough, but there is still not enough firewood for the fire."

"Don't worry, wait until the first wave of Li Shentong is defeated, and then arrange time to collect dry firewood. Before that, you have to save it. If it doesn't work, you can make do with drying the horse manure."

"Yes!"

"Now there are more iron stoves, you must do a good job in fire prevention, and don't lose the big because of the small."

"Don't worry, my lord, we all strictly abide by the regulations on the use of stoves issued by the military department, and there will never be any fire accidents."

The battle plan about how to fight the Li Family Army led by Li Shentong has been deduced countless times, and they are not familiar with each other. Now the discussion is just Wang Junlin discussing some things outside the battlefield that may affect the outcome of the war. Ask again.

Some of these things seem small, or even unimportant, but everyone is an old soldier, knowing that any detail on the battlefield may determine success or failure, not to mention that everything is forewarned, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. The more fully prepared you are, the easier the war will be, and the fewer casualties will be.

Wang Junlin never underestimated Li Shentong and the elite soldiers of the Li Yuan Group. Previously, Li Shentong and Luo Shixin easily lost in the field battle, mainly because the other party did not understand the various terrifying lethal weapons possessed by the Far Eastern Army, as well as their unique tactics. .

There are more reasons for the loss of Luliang County and Xinkou County, except that the secret road through the Luliang Mountains is completely unknown to Li Shentong. In addition, the information provided by the military intelligence office, Xiaoyu theater, martial arts guild and other forces in the Far East Army has an advantage. In addition, before each operation, a lot of preparations and careful plans have been made. That's why it was possible to create miracles and control the land of the two counties in just one day.

But now, Li Shentong has been defeated on the battlefield once before, so he must understand some situations, and then he wants to use powerful weapons such as gunpowder packs, landmines, grenades, steel string bows, continuous-shot crossbows, and hundred-shot fast crossbows. The difficulty of deciding the outcome of the battlefield will be greatly increased.

After asking and exhorting some important things that need attention and preparation one by one, and arranging today's tasks, the captains and captains Guo Yi walked out of the command tent one by one, mounted their horses and returned to the battalions.

Wang Junlin drank a cup of hot milk tea under the service of Shen Guoer, put on a sheepskin coat and left the tent. What caught the eye was a silvery white color.

It is now past the end of October, and it is still warm in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, but it has already entered winter here.

Just yesterday there was another heavy snowfall. Apart from the gloomy sky above, there were no other large areas of color on the ground. It's just that this kind of silvery white doesn't have the silver-covered beauty that literati say, but only the infinitely cold desolate meaning.

That's right, Wang Junlin's support is the big camp that they spent more than a month building.

The top tents were distributed in a patchwork and orderly manner in the camp, and two trenches were dug outside the camp, and then the second trench was built with the soil dug out of the trenches. The third line of defense - two low walls.

Of course, there are other fortifications and means, which together form an offensive and defensive system that integrates defense and offense.

Wang Junlin's central army was located in the middle of the camp near the northeast, facing the direction of Shuozhou City where Li Shentong was located.

These fortifications were completed a few days ago. Otherwise, it has snowed heavily and the ground has been frozen for the past few days.

Of course, this kind of effort will soon appear on the 100,000 Li family troops led by Li Shentong.

Wang Junlin, under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, routinely galloped his horse around to look around the camp, and then a spy came galloping on horseback, more than ten steps away from Wang Junlin. Dismount,

Kneeling down on one knee, he said loudly, "Report to the lord, and the scouts will report back. Li Shentong's Li family army forward has appeared in a small forest more than 60 miles to the west!"

Wang Junlin couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and said: "How many people are there in the forward."

"Ten thousand, all are elites with one man and two horses, and all of them are wearing armor." The spies said immediately.

Wang Junlin nodded, looked to the west, and muttered to himself: "Li Shentong! And your hundred thousand elites, I have been waiting for a long time."

"Send the troops, the enemy's vanguard has appeared, and the main force of the enemy army will arrive soon." Wang Junlin signaled for the spies to leave on their own, and ordered a soldier beside him.

The soldier agreed, and led several communication soldiers to leave on horseback.

Shen Guoer asked from the side: "My lord, do you want to call all the captains to discuss the matter?"

"No need, just let the whole army know the news." Not to mention the vanguard, even if Li Shentong's main force arrived, Wang Junlin felt that there was no need to hold a battle meeting.

"The enemy's vanguard is about 30 miles away from us, minus the time for the scouts to report back, marching in this weather, Li Shentong can come to our sight in about half a day. However, the scouts of the Li family army It will probably appear nearby soon, Guo'er, I don't want our camp to be detected by the enemy, so you send out scouts to deal with the enemy's scouts."

Shen Guoer agreed, and immediately made arrangements.

Contrary to Wang Junlin's expectations, the army led by Li Shentong did not arrive within half a day.

Although half of Li Shentong was cavalry and half was infantry, Wang Junlin was quite surprised and sneered at the slow march.

Under this kind of weather, under normal circumstances, this speed is not too slow for ordinary cavalry.

But Li Shentong wanted to attack the Far Eastern Army, as long as the army has really suffered from the Far Eastern Army, they will know that the sooner they fight the Far Eastern Army, the better, otherwise, if they give the latter too much preparation time, they will suffer is a nightmare.

Once an army has been raised, it is natural to be fast. There is a saying in the art of war that "soldiers are expensive and fast." The slower the speed, the longer it will take for the opponent to prepare, and it is common to even set traps for your troops and marching routes.

So, according to the calculations of Wang Junlin and the people under his command, I thought that Li Shentong and the Li family army would arrive here from Shuozhou City within a day, but it seems that the other party will take at least half a day to arrive here.

As soon as Li Shentong set off from Shuozhou City, the spies of the Military Intelligence Office sent news to the camp every quarter of an hour.

The next day, in the morning.

A team of spies sent by Shen Guoer finally met the enemy's scout team, and they began to fight fiercely with each other. The returning scouts began to bring back the heads of enemy scouts representing military exploits, but there were also some scouts who turned into corpses and were brought back by their comrades, or even failed to bring back the corpses.

After Wang Junlin learned about the heads brought back and the lost cavalry, he found that the enemy's casualties were not much less than those of his own side.

You must know that every scout in the military intelligence government is the most powerful veteran selected from the whole army. No matter it is this kind of scout encounter with any enemy, it always has the absolute upper hand, and sometimes even kills all the enemy scouts .

So, this is the first time that such a similar situation has occurred. From this, it can be seen that the scout cavalry sent by Li Shentong must be the best of the elite. It is still doubtful that more than 10,000 people will continue to stay here.

With the luxury equipment such as hand grenades, steel string bows, rapid-fire crossbows, steel plate armor, etc. owned by the Far East Army Scout Cavalry, they have little advantage in fighting them. It is conceivable that the scouts sent by Li Shentong are the real elite Well, Li Yuan's group really has capable people who train soldiers.

However, individual combat power is naturally an important factor in the victory of a war. In addition, the use of army group battle formations and the layout of tactics and strategies are also very important.

……

……

In the fourteenth year of Daye, on November 2nd, in the morning light, less than a hundred miles to the east of Shuozhou City, the camp of the Far Eastern Army appeared, and on the unmelted snowfield to the west, a black torrent appeared, heading towards the camp of the Far Eastern Army. The camp flooded over like a flood.

The whole earth seemed to be trembling. At this moment, even the sound of the almost never-ending cold wind whistling in this area was covered by the sound of war horses' iron hooves trampling the ground.

On the five-foot-high podium, Wang Junlin's eyes were as bright as stars, and he shouted the order: "Open the camp and attack!"

Following his order, the orderly flag sounded at the same time as the orderly's drums and horns sounded, and the officers at all levels below received orders one after another, and moved quickly according to the procedures of the previous drill for many days.
